my girlfriend, hill/nole/muni, introduced me to some very special safety announcement songs oh so long ago, which we completely forgot about until today when she broke out with a beautiful rendition of 'don't stop on the railroad tracks'. This cd is no longer in production but I found a website that has all the mp3's. my favorite is 'the stuff in the medicine cabinet is not candy'.ok so i decided with all my spare time and love of music to create a blog of new and interesting sounds. especially since right now i feel lost in the country/bad hip hop section of life and need to dig myself out of it.
today i managed to find some really incredible groups looking up crap about one of my favorite mellow bands the album leaf. my mom thinks it sounds like spiritual healing music or something you would listen to while getting a message but i think it is much darker than that. really good music for a rainy day - the acoustics sound like it was recorded in some big open loft, rough, but nice.
....so in the midst of exploring the album leaf site i read that they are collaborating with a group called telefon tel aviv. originating out of new orleans, louisiana in the late 90's, they were signed and relocated to a chicago label Hefty Records. they are actually performing at some big raver event in chicago today (which i had to miss for many reasons) but i am hoping to hear more of them since they are based not more than 3 hours from me. here is a site for some free downloads. anyway check out Hefty's website for some other great bands... L'Altra, phil renelin, and solo andata were some of my favorites.
